Breakthrough in soft robotics: First toroidal micro-robot to swim autonomously in viscous liquids

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Researchers from Tampere University in Finland and Anhui Jianzhu University in China have made a significant breakthrough in soft robotics. Their groundbreaking study introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots capable of navigating complex environments, with promising applications in fields such as medicine and environmental monitoring. A peek through an optical microscope reveals a hidden universe teeming with life. Nature has devised ingenious methods for micro-organisms to navigate their viscous environments: for example, E. coli bacteria employ corkscrew motions, cilia move…

People sympathize with bullied AI bots

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
In an Imperial College London study, humans displayed sympathy towards and protected AI bots who were excluded from playtime. The researchers say the study, which used a virtual ball game, highlights humans' tendency to treat AI agents as social beings -- an inclination that should be considered when designing AI bots. The study is published in Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies. Lead author Jianan Zhou, from Imperial's Dyson School of Design Engineering, said: "This is a unique insight into how humans interact with AI, with exciting implications for their design and our psychology." People are increasingly required to interact with…

AI breakthrough in human action detection technology

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
What if a security camera could not only capture video but understand what's happening -- distinguishing between routine activities and potentially dangerous behavior in real time? That's the future being shaped by researchers at the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Science with their latest breakthrough: an AI-driven intelligent video analyzer capable of detecting human actions in video footage with unprecedented precision and intelligence. The system, called the Semantic and Motion-Aware Spatiotemporal Transformer Network (SMAST), promises a wide range of societal benefits from enhancing surveillance systems and improving public safety to enabling more advanced motion tracking in healthcare…

Microsoft: Ransomware Attacks Growing More Dangerous, Complex

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
The number of attempted ransomware attacks on Microsoft customers globally have grown dramatically in the last year, according to Microsoft’s Digital Defense report, released on Oct. 15. However, advancements in automatic attack disruption technologies have led to fewer of these attacks reaching the encryption stage. Microsoft reported 600 million cybercriminal and nation-state attacks occurring daily. While ransomware attempts increased by 2.75 times, successful attacks involving data encryption and ransom demands dropped by three-fold. The inverse proportion of launched ransomware attacks to successful ransomware attacks suggests defenses are working, said Microsoft. Source: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Significant attack types include deepfakes,…
